Chicken liver pate (Slimming World friendly)

I made this pate for taster night in class last night and its was really popular, I've looked for a low syn or syn free pate recipe for a while so thought I would try making my own and was really pleased with it, Has all the flavour and richness without all the fat and syns.

I buy chicken livers frozen in ASDA and they are available in most supermarkets they are really cheap too only about 70p a tub, I used smoked bacon medallions as they have no fat at all but lots of flavour. Have a go at making this its really easy and much cheaper than buying pate too.

Chicken Liver Pate

1 tub chicken livers (defrosted and trimmed of any sinews)

2 oz mushrooms (chopped)

1/2 large onion or 1 small onion (chopped)

4 smoked bacon medallions (chopped)

1 clove garlic (crushed)

2 tbsp quark

1/2 tsp dried sage

1/2 tsp black pepper

low calorie spray oil

Spray a large frying pan or wok with the spray oil and fry the onion over a lowish heat until soft, Add the mushrooms, bacon, garlic and sage and fry until bacon is cooked and mushrooms are soft. If it starts to stick just add a little splash of water then remove this mixture from the pan and set aside.

Spray the pan again and gently fry the chicken livers over a medium heat until cooked though (just cut one open to check it has cooked through).

Place onion, bacon mixture, the chicken livers and the pepper into a food processor and blitz for a couple of minutes, Add the quark (this helps make it smooth) and blitz again until smooth.
